You like vegetables, but you must like bees too.

Honeybees pollinate every third bite of food ingested by Americans, says a Cornell study. Bees help generate some $14 billion in produce.

Here is Victory Acres CSA. I will be working here over the summer. 114 acres of pure farming fun and land. Just planted 8 asian pear trees to start out our orchard. Julie and I are moving to the trailer in the NW corner of the property. Pictures coming soon!!

What am I doing when I am done with my Masters?

First, I will introduce myself as Master Perkins to every new person I meet.
Second, I will not sit in front of a computer for one week straight.
Third, I will spend the summer as Victory Acres CSA vegetable production manager. Wait, that reminds me I need to order some asian pear trees for the establishment of the orchard!!
Fourth, after one week of a break, I will begin research on raising earthworm's for profit, preferably integrated with rabbit raising. I heard rabbits schreech something bad when getting the knife.
Fifth, oh ya. I am going to keep doing research for Dr. Squiers. Hey he pays me, I am around, why not.
Sixth, I am going to enter the Transition to Teacher Program in the Fall and take night classes to get my teaching certificate. I already passed my state certification tests, now I just need the pedagody(and a spelling class).
Seventh, Julie and I will walk from Upland to Demotte sometime this summer. Camion de Indiana, so to speak.
Eighth, . . . . to be continued
